| Abstract: | The author analyzes the issue of discretion and commitment in monetary policy under an exchange rate-targeting regime. It is shown that a state-contingent contract conditioned on the exchange rate and past output can implement the commitment equilibrium. Contracts conditioned on the exchange rate and inflation and on inflkation and past output can also mimic the optimal rule under commitment. |
